Okay, so i been looking around on ebay for stuff for my mustang, and i came across this flip key for mustangs. I think they are kinda cool and was looking into getting one. Has any one on here have this key? I would like to know the quality of the key. Heres the ebay link

I have a flip key, not that brand though so I can't comment on quality there. This is the one I got.

Getting it cut was a nightmare. Took it to Home Depot to have it cut and they said they would not try. Took it to a dealership, they said not their part so they won't try. Finally after trying 3 lock smiths I found one who said no problem. Charged me 3 bucks and they key worked flawless.

Programing it was easy. I had the 2 original keys and 1 original fob and the instructions that came with mine were spot on.

Now, the scary part. Mine fell apart, literary as I was turning it in the ignition. I picked up all the bits and pieces from the floor and managed to put it together again with super glue but the switchblade spring lost a bit of pep. But when it was in bits I learned the chip needed to turn over the ignition is not in the key blade but on the fob circuit board. Make sure that e-bay option is compatible with he chip part of your ignition.

Ps. I did not buy from that store on ebay when I was looking because I heard their shipping from tiawan takes a long long time, And you need 1 original fob and 2 original keys to program it yourself

I have that exact key from that seller and it works just as good as the factory Ford key. The only thing I wasn't really thrilled about was the decal on the back with the Ford emblem. I don't think anyone else has ever noticed it who has played with my key but it is all gold instead of the ford blue as it appears in the picture.

Has anyone tried this one for a 2005 (though it says for 2007-2011)

Hi,


i bought one but it is not the same that you are showing in the link.

i can say that the one i bought lasted only 3 months. the thing started to show stress marks where all the force applied to turn on the car is supported.

But this one seems to be stiffer. Maybe is a good choice

BTW,

looked at the one that DJGietzen posted and i got the same key.
